SWIMMING POOL (2003), dir.
François Ozon
Starring Charlotte Rampling and
Ludivine Sagnier
The two women, the handsome
waiter, the hours of idleness, the swimming pool: it sounds like, and on one
level is, a scenario worthy of Eric Rohmer.
But Mr. Ozon is as perverse as
he is resourceful, so he slyly turns his delicate study in generational and
cross-cultural sexual rivalry into a suspense thriller. There is a mystery
lurking in Julie's past...
''Swimming Pool'' is rated R.
It's summertime. It's the south of France. It's a French movie. Who said
anything about clothes?
